Why You Should Upgrade Your Internet Browser?

A Quick Lesson

First of all let me start by explaining what HTML is. Hypertext Markup Language – HTML, is the language in which websites are written. The HTML is what you are looking at right now known as the “Front-End.” It is how web developers create websites. An Internet browser, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer is the program that reads the HTML and displays it as a website.

A Few Good Reasons

You are reading this article so obviously you want to know why you should upgrade your browser?

Generally anything to with computing needs updating/upgrading from time to time. Updates can patch holes in previous versions of the software

Older browsers do not recognise new adaptions of the HTML language and therefore will not support many modern techniques for building websites

Older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 are security risks. Savvy developers have learnt to exploit flaws in these browsers

Generally you will be missing out on new features such as tabbed browsing meaning you can have multiple websites open in the same window

It is totally free to upgrade your browser, there are quite a few on offer these days and all out perform older versions of Internet Explorer

More and more developers are stopping supporting older browsers altogether, keeping with the same old browser means websites will appear broken
